So in honor of memorial day, which was yesterday, I figured now would be a great time to talk about Don't Ask Don't Tell. Don't Ask Don't Tell was Clinton's resolution to the ban on gay's joining the military. It roughly states that anyone regardless of there sexual preference is allowed in the military as long as they don't tell anyone what there sexual preference is. While it was a step forward at the time, many feel that it was still discriminatory against homosexuals. The reason this is coming up in the news now is because a senate committee and the House of representatives have now voted to repeal the dadt bill. While this is a great step forward there are still a few more steps that must be taken before the bill is removed, so it's not in the clear yet. We will see what happens but until then what do you think about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?
